NHS Board Projected Staff In Post Changes In 2013/14
All NHS Boards have been asked to develop Local Delivery Plans (LDPs) and workforce plans, as well as using workforce workload tools. As part of this process, NHS Boards have been asked to provide workforce projections for 2013/14. These projections are based on staff in post whole time equivalents (WTE).

The main findings for financial year 2013/14 are:
- Total Staff in Post is projected to increase by 1,261.6 WTE (up 0.9%).
- Medical (HCHS) is projected to increase by 220.1 WTE (up 1.9%).
- Nursing and Midwifery is projected to increase by 856.0 WTE (up 1.5%), the largest WTE increase across all staff groups. The largest projected increase is in NHS Lothian by 316.6 WTE (up 3.5%).
- Allied Health Profession is projected to increase by 115.1 WTE (up 1.2%).

1. This includes interns as projected by NHS Education for Scotland.
2. ISD report this category as Emergency Services, however it includes a number of non-emergency ambulance staff.
3. Management (non-AfC) is a sub group of Administration Services. These figures are not comparable to the 25% Reduction Target in Senior Management posts. The definition used in the target allows the exclusion of clinically orientated staff from within this group and the inclusion of some AfC Administration staff (Band 8a and above).
